Both Tipper (1969) and Rusmore and Woodsworth (1993) showed the thrust system projecting into the Tatla Lake and Bussel Creek map areas, but its northerly continuation, as well as contact relations and ages of most rock units and structures in the present study area, remained enigmatic until this study. In the Anahim Lake (93C) map area, northwest of the present study, the eastern Coast Belt consists dominantly of Jura-Cretaceous plutonic and metamorphic rocks (van der Heyden, 1990, 1991, van der Heyden et al., 1994); structures are dominated by steeply dipping, northeast- trending ductile fabrics, and the area is disrupted by steeply dipping brittle shear zones. Thrust faults that might corre- late with the Eastern Waddington thrust belt, and rocks correlative with Tyaughton trough strata, are not present in the Anahim Lake map area. The study area can be subdivided into several fault- bounded, west to northwest-trending domains (Figures 2 and 3). Rocks of the Jura-Cretaceous Coast Belt magmatic arc in the southwest are thrust over a strongly imbricated zone consisting of multiple thrust slices of Upper Triassic arc rocks. The arc rocks are thrust over Lower Cretaceous marine strata of the Tyaughton trough, which, in turn, are thrust over Upper Cretaceous nonmarine strata that record the final stages in the evolution of the trough. Further northeast, between the trend of the Tchaikazan and Figure 1. Regional location and geology.

    Vancouver Island, BC Vancouver Island’s North Coast The locations may be remote, but the possibilities are not! Small, friendly and Affordable Communities Do you enjoy being surrounded by magnificent scenery and outdoor recreation? Consider the joy of working in a close‐ knit, small‐town community setting and the important role healthcare providers’ play in these communities. We offer the best possible life-work balance with community focused teams, relocation assistance and an amazing lifestyle in one of Canada’s best climates. Rehabilitation Roles - Unique Opportunities in a Challenging Environment Living and working in remote northern locations is not without it challenges but the rewards are enormous. You will work closely with the First Nations communities in places few visitors ever get to see. Commute by Air - We have a special primary care team that flies into Kingcome and Gilford by helicopter every two weeks. The team is made up of physician and primary health care nurse who go in every trip. Based on needs and referrals, this team will also include an occupational therapist, physiotherapist, diabetes educator, dietician or mental health and addictions workers. Zeballos and Kyuquot are based on referrals and travel is either by road or by helicopter once a month when the physician flies in. Each of these two communities has a nursing station run by Island Health. Distinctive Rehabilitation Teams – In Mount Waddington, our rehabilitation team incorporates a physiotherapist, occupational therapist and a rehabilitation assistant. New graduates receive practice support and mentorship from our experienced staff. Additional support for the community resource team comes from the rehabilitation teams in Campbell River.

One of hisresponsibilities was "theduty of collectinginformation on the subject of themining industries of the Province".This material, which consisted of reports by the Gold Commissionersand the Mining Recorders of theprovince, was published in the AnnualReport of the Minister of Mines. A Bureauof Mines was established by Parliamentaryauthority in 1895 and in 1896 was staffed by a ProvincialMineralogist and an assayer/chemist. Technicalreports on mines andmining activities were prepared by them and published in the Annual Report,together with reports contributed by the MiningRecorders and Gold Commissioners. Over theyears, with the expansion of the mining industry, the staff of the Department of Mines grew, as did the number and size of the technical reports on geologyand mining that were still published in the Annual Report of the Minister ofMines.
